In the 90s, nutritionists claimed that a person needs to eat five vegetables and fruits a day.

Over time, this advice needs to be adjusted.

This was reported by nutritionist Dwayne Mellor, reports the Daily Mail .

The doctor noted that if a person wants to feel good every day, then his diet must necessarily include at least three vegetables of different colors. These can also be leafy and root vegetables, they cannot be ignored, since they also contain a lot of vitamins and minerals.

As for fruits, you can eat a maximum of two fruits per day.

As Mellor noted in the interview, this simple ratio is not only affordable, but also very healthy, which helps to make the diet varied and low in calories.

But that's not all the benefits.

The doctor added that this can restore intestinal microflora and even strengthen mental health.
